Steam version CTD while equipping soldier

Think this is a really old one, but can't remember and cant' find.

Feb 29th 1980. Went to put a scatter laser on a newb troop in a basic base. CTD'd.

Went back and to re-trace steps tried to put a plasma rifle on a better troop in another base. CTD'd.

Multiple bases? And are you going to the base from the geoscape by clicking on the base icon, or through the base tab?

Hi.

I didn't reply initially because the problem seemed to have gone.

It's now back, however.

I have moved experienced troops around to shepherd newbs and thus have to re-equip them. I also have better stuff to give them which is what I'm trying to do.

I access the bases through the tab at the top and with some soldiers whenever I try to give them something better than they've got e.g. plasma/mag when I try to drag the item to its slot the game freezes for a second and then CTDs.

When you click on the item to drag it, does a 'ghosted version' appear so that you can move the item across the window or does it just appear over the equipment list and then crash? After answering that, you can try to just transfer things by Right clicking them. I have found it more stable.

Thanks for the report. I believe it's related to transfering. You can try and un-equip your soldiers before transfering and then re-equip them at the other base.
